Beijing Hotels: Seriously, None of Them Actually Impress.

[Mr. Nathan Waelchi]

Exactly... I didn't think so before, but after staying at a few hotels in Shanghai, the difference is just so stark, sigh...

[Linda Dietrich]

Hahahaha, next time I'm in Beijing, I'll have to try the MO to see how good their 'top tier' (ceiling) really is.

[Marcos Goodwin]

Well said!

[Miss Angela Cormier]

It drives me crazy every time I go.

[Rafael Rau]

Mandarin Oriental, InterContinental Sanlitun.

[Karen Bruen]

I'll try the InterContinental Sanlitun next time!

[Emma Kihn]

Stop talking nonsense. Go check out the Grand Hyatt, China World Summit Wing, or Park Hyatt at Yintai Center. You really talk so big.

[Elaine Boyle PhD]

Didn't I specifically mention Marriott properties? Besides, how do you even know I haven't stayed at the ones you mentioned?

[Delia Jast]

Rosewood.

[Miss Alison Collier]

What kind of room would be a better choice?

[Wayne Marvin]

I think the Grand Hyatt is pretty well-balanced in all aspects; it's decent. But prices really shoot up during summer vacation. For summer, maybe China World Hotel (by Shangri-La) is a good bet – you can eat five meals a day there, so you won't have to worry about finding food in a 'culinary desert.' If budget is no object, go straight for the MO Wangfujing.

[Lucia Feest]

Haha, I'm actually going for work. I'll check out the Grand Hyatt next time~ Thanks for the recommendation!
